Required disclosures
Lead-based paint (pre-1978). Bedbug history (most recent occurrence). Mold disclosure. Radon (HB 22-1149).
Landlord entry
CRS does not specify notice. Best practice: 24-hour written notice in lease. Reasonable hours only.
Warranty of habitability (HB 19-1170, expanded 2021)
Landlord must keep premises fit. If unaddressed within 24-72 hours (severity-dependent), tenant can: terminate, repair-and-deduct (up to month rent), or sue for damages. Strict notice rules.
Source of income protection
HB 20-1332: source-of-income discrimination prohibited statewide since 2021. Section 8 must be considered like any income.
